What does it do?

Isoleucine is one of the essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained through diet or medication. It mainly participates in protein synthesis and energy metabolism, and is used for nutritional purposes. In pharmaceuticals, it is primarily included for nutritional supplementation.

Isoleucine is used as a building block for protein synthesis in the body and contributes to the maintenance and recovery of muscle tissue. It also participates in energy metabolism, supporting bodily functions. Through this, it provides essential nutrients for patients with inadequate nutritional status.
